Experts' Choice Award Torre di Bellosguardo
What the experts agree on
A hilltop Renaissance villa away from the crowds, prized for sweeping Florence views (especially from the pool), Medieval antiques, and frescoed rooms—atmospheric over lavish, worth the uphill trek.
Michelin Guide "Simple yet elegant... It has a magical, fairy tale atmosphere."
Frommer's "With its echoey halls, airy loggias, and imposing stone staircases, the Bellosguardo feels just a few flickering torches shy of the Middle Ages -- exactly its attraction." Full review
Fodor's "Bellosguardo means "beautiful view"; given the view of Florence you get here, the name is fitting." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Situated atop the hill of Bellosguardo, this distinctive hotel is housed in a Renaissance-era villa built around a 14th-century tower." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Far from the crowds, but with the city at its feet, the views from the 16th-century tower of this 14th-century villa are unparalleled."
Rough Guide "Its not central - its perched on a hill about 2km from the heart of Oltrarno - but the four-star Bellosguardo is one of the most beautiful hotels in the city."
